Begin by reviewing the basic history of the Napoleonic Wars using a combination of visual aids, such as pictures and maps, as well as ASL.

Divide the class into groups of 4-5 students. Each group will receive a map of Europe and game pieces to represent different countries and their armies.

Introduce the game by explaining that each group will be taking on the role of a different European country and competing against the other groups to control the most territory at the end of the war. The game will be played in rounds, and each round will represent a different year of the war.

At the start of each round, each group will draw a card with a historical event related to the Napoleonic Wars. The group must then use ASL to discuss and strategize how they will respond to the event and how it will affect their country’s armies.

After each group has made their decisions, the teacher will act as the “narrator” of the game and announce the outcome of each event and how it affects the different countries’ territories.

At the end of each round, students will use ASL to reflect on their decisions and how it affected their country’s progress in the war.

The game continues for several rounds, until it reaches the final event: Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, and end of the war.

Finally, each group will present a short ASL presentation on their country’s role in the war and how the war affected their country.
